Van Hunt uses his velvet-smooth voice to stunning effect in his rhymic, triste-laden melodies. He is something like a cross between Thelonious Monk and Prince - throaty and suave, yet artistic, bold, and (notably) a little bit weird. His alternative style is his strength, however.

Like Maxwell, D’Angelo, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Musiq,
and Macy Gray, Van Hunt is a member of the “neo-soul”
generation - a new generation of young artists who draw on R&B’s
rich past yet give it their own unique spin.
